Hi, I'm Gia Graham...

I'm a full-time illustrator and hand lettering artist based in Atlanta, originally from sunny Barbados. I’ve been fortunate enough to create artwork for companies like Spotify, Penguin Random House, Lionsgate, American Greetings, the US Postal Service and more. I began teaching in 2019 and over the years, I've had the pleasure of sharing all the tips and tricks I’ve learned to thousands of students online. I look forward to helping you take a few new steps along your creative journey!
